Birthday Fun!

I sure wish I'd thought to actually walk around the party and take pictures of guests. What a good idea, huh? You'd think I'd never done this before. Unfortunately, I did walk around and then I'd sit my camera down and forget about it. If you were a guest in our home and you can't tell from looking at the following pictures, please forgive me!

Party day was FUN for Will. Eddie and I hustled around the house all morning because it looked like it had been hit by a tornado. Fortunately, by party time I don' think it did. (If any of you peeked in our office or master bedroom I'm never inviting you again.)

Mister Man was ready in his party best before the guests arrived!

I mentioned yesterday that Nancy made the cake. She brought it before the party and let him sample it before everyone else arrived. He approved.

James "made" one of the cars...he stuck the animal crackers and pretzels on it...he was SO proud and kept telling everyone who would listen.

Gifts! I'm so glad I had two little helpers - James and Lily - because Will had NO interest in presents. You'll all be glad to know that he has played with EVERYTHING since yesterday afternoon. Everything. That kid LOVES toys.

Cake time! Check out his face when he sees the candle in the first picture. We were waiting for Eddie to get the video camera. Poor second kid. At least I didn't forget after it was too late!

Bath time!

What a fun day! Thanks to those who came, who called/emailed/texted, and those who weren't with us but wanted to be. We had such a fun time visiting with everyone. Happy Birthday, Baby Will!

Looking for Something

I'm a wife to a fantastic husband and teacher-turned-stay-at-home mama to two beautiful busy boys. I'm a lover of books, cool weather, bundling up, painted toenails, coffee, movie theater popcorn for supper, Diet Coke, sleeping late, being lazy, the beach, slow-cooker meals, spending time with long-time friends, and cooking. I'm not a domestic goddess, just a regular girl trying to run a household and keep it all together!
